Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork.

I have a Linn Basik Turntable with an Akito tonearm and Rega Exacta 2 cartridge. Would one expect a noticeable sonic difference when changing from a felt mat to a rubber and cork mat?

Would you consider the PAC oversized platter an essential upgrade for the 401? Mine has stock platter on it still. What would you say it brought to the table.( Sic). Thanks

Instead of isolation platform under a turntable i would recommend to use pneumatic feet (support up to 60kg). Need help to find them in mint condition? Send PM
